You probably have figured out that most anything you put on the drill
bit will help and last until it is worn off. Silicon grease is one of
the harder things to get off surfaces that one is going to paint, so I
suspect it would be a winner here if it were in your shop.

But since part of the problem is not having the " fix " disappear, I
would try any kind of wax mixed with some medium weight oil in
container that is likely to leak if put in a pocket. A short wide
mouth glass jam jar would work. Candles, floor wax, stick lube
( removed from the cardboard tube ) would all work mixed with ATF, 30
weight oil, Chain saw bar oil, way oil, or bacon fat.
